Got an email about this for the Email Only price of £23.90 - strangely enough, the EU option is the same price too (?). Seems to get decent reviews on Amazon US.
If you're like me and you weigh yourself regularly, and/or fast, this might be of interest to you :smiley:
App works with iphone or Android, haven't seen any mention of Windows Phone.

Body mass index (BMI):
BMI is closely related to the total body fat index, the index is considered weight and height two factors. BMI is simple and practical, it can reflect systemic overweight and obesity. Measure the overweight body, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, it is more accurate than simple body weight.
BIA (Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis):
The BIA technology allows you to easily calculate your body fitness by imputing information of gender, height, age, activity level and your weight. In bare feet, this technology sends a low-level electrical signal though your body fat and then measures the resistance the signal encounters. This signal is perfectly safe and will not be felt.

The EU Warehouse option adds to my basket at £23.06 when I click the link "Limited Time and Max per order:10".

The other scales (from Amazon) which I linked to have good reviews about their accuracy, they are simply "vanilla" weighing scales, not like this Yunmai.
Can't comment on the Yunmai app as I don't have those scales :stuck_out_tongue:

Been using these for about 5 days now- find them useful. As far as I can tell the display on the scale shows you mass only. The other measurements appear on the phone. The app then stores data over a period of time so you can track progress
The app works really well-quite pleased with the scales so far and the data always syncs to my fitness pal which is useful

I have a question? What does the phone app do?? Why do you need a phone for this??
Thanks LL, finally ordered after mulling it over since you posted it.
Read all the reviews and most were positive.
Not too bothered with all the 'extras' that come with it, though they have piqued my curiosity with regard to reliability.
I just want an accurate weight reading after using an old mechanical set that has to be constantly reset to zero.

Absolute accuracy doesn't matter too much to me just so long as it's consistent. Really what I need is some idea of whether I'm gaining or losing weight and if that's fat or muscle.

Inconsistent too. It changes everyday.

very good idea. thanks. i will do the same but not sure about this type as there are so many others on this price. Why did you choose this? android app works for you?

I bought these scales a month or so ago when they were £17. Work well, the fat % is based on electric pulse so only useful as a guide not an accurate measurement. The app on iOS shares to Apple health ok. Not used with android but imagine it works just as well. Really easy to use with multiple people. Weight is accurate compared to other scales I've used. The EU warehouse is in the U.K. Comes in a few days via Royal Mail.

Wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a multifuntional scale. Statistics like body fat are just calculated estimations based on you height/weight/age and stuff, so it's basically a normal scale with bluetooth. I know this because I had a exactly same one when I was living in China, where it was retailed at 10 pounds.
Somebody please tell me if I'm being daft and I've ordered something not as good as the deal posted.

As far as I can see, the Normal Version comes with Chinese instructions but can be used in English after downloading the App.
The Normal Version was a few £ cheaper from the EU Warehouse but is now out of stock (not sure if it was available when I posted, wasn't aware of it till it was mentioned! :stuck_out_tongue:)

What is the difference between the domestic and international versions? Does this have like an 'American size' mode you can switch on? Extra strength or more digits on the readout or something?

I can see one Amazon reviewer says "Don't expect it to give accurate results regarding body fat measurements because electrical impedance will never be that accurate."

7 Aug 16#14
Might be worth asking on Live Chat. I'll see if I can find anything else.
One review says (about the "Normal Version"):"The scale arrived in 17 days to Israel.
I installed the English application on Android
I got it only today.
It seem to work flawlessly. in English.
Cons:
It arrived with only Chinese instructions.
However you dont need instructions since the application is in English".
So, it seems the Normal Version ships Chinese instructions but you can use the App to use it in English.

The Q&As state a few times that the International Version is in English, but they don't explain the difference between the International and Standard version at all well!
There's a few Amazon Q&As answered by Yunmai themselves:

I bought this but i think the scale is off. It says i weight 40, but i weight around 130. Has anyone else had this problem?
Answer:
Hi Leslie, thanks for inquiry. Please put the scale on a hard flat surface like tile for better performance. The scale might need re-calibrated to show accurate reading, could you please help step on and off quickly? The scale should show "0.0", which indicates the calibration is complete.

You can change the currency at the top right of the page :smiley: Change to "Ship to: United Kingdom/GBP".
